40 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Placerville

“‘Sunshine Donuts & Cafe’ is a charming little “unexpected” spot in Placerville, tucked away along the winding hills, far from the hustle and bustle of downtown main street…and is TOTALLY worth the drive!

They pepper the kids with little treats and are so kind and patient with families. But they also offer a very serene setting inside. We will support this restaurant forever. Amazing people, fresh and wonderful food.“

“I went to Annie's for the first time today and ordered the Mexicali sandwich and fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sandwich had just the right amount of spiciness to it with the chipotle sauce and jalapenos. The fries were amazing and crispy too. Everyone that works there was very attentive and super friendly. I live right around the corner and I will definitely be back to try the breakfast and mimosas. I told my husband it was a 10 out of 10.“

“I’ve been looking for a good Italian restaurant since I’ve been a little homesick, and I finally found it! Can’t say enough about the food here, I was so impressed! The portions are perfect, I left feeling so full and had to get a cannoli to go! We will definitely be back! I can’t wait for my mom to visit so I can take her here! 10/10“

“My family has been eating there for years. We like everything but our tradition is chili cheese fries. whenever any of the family come to town, we go to ShoeStrings!“

“I had never been here, but was invited by a friend for lunch. I had the truffled flatbread pizza followed by black forest cheesecake and it was AMAZING! Their wines were delicious! I Loved it so much, I became a member. Try it out if you're close by, you won't regret it. Ask for Stacy when you go.“

“This winery is one of the best! We visited for a wine tasting and the gentleman was so informative about the wines and how they are harvested, we couldn’t get enough of his knowledge! The wines, all six, that we selected on our own were excellent! We will probably join the club when we get home! Also, there is a picnic area that you can purchase a charcuterie board or cheese and crackers, spreads and dips to sit down and enjoy with your bottle of wine! It’s fantastic!“

“Always a lovely day at Hollys 🍁🍷🍁“

“Greenhouse Cafe has amazing food! Their breakfast burritos are to die for! My mom said their fruit bowls are the best she's ever had by far! Everyone there is very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend Greenhouse!“

“This is an amazing place with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful views over the vineyards. The wine is truly excellent — rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. It’s a perfect spot to spend an afternoon, enjoy a tasting, and just unwind. Highly recommended.“

“Miss the winery. Thank your shipping !“

“We were there 7/8/25. The staff was excellent. Friendly and helpful. We missed the fritters; they were all sold out. We bought lots of fruit:apricots, peaches, blackberries, cherries, blueberries, figs!“

“Today was the first time my son and I tried out your bbq. Amazing flavor and great sauce. Best baby back’s I’ve ever had. Keep it up 👍🏼“

“We too have been members for years! What happened to Debbi and Nate? Wow, sad to hear, Debbi was 1 one of the main reasons we went FH, besides wine, but she truly made it extraordinarily special! Hopefully she's ok.“

“This place continues to go downhill in my opinion. We have been going there for years. But the last year we have stopped going much at all because the service is very hit and miss. A few good servers here and there. The food had also started to be not as good. We decided to try it again and for me this is probably the last time. The serving size for the price is pitiful. Especially the ridiculously small kids pizza for $12. It was burnt on the bottom besides. The garden sandwich sounded very good but was pitiful and served on a dry bun. The service was adequate but not friendly. Just disappointing again. This used to be one of my favorite places.“

“Great place to eat fantastic fish 😁“

“BlueBarn Provisions is an absolute gem in Camino! Everything about this place feels thoughtful and elevated…. from the cozy, charming atmosphere to the beautifully crafted menu. I had the Roasted Turkey with French Brie + Peach Jam, Spring Greens on Ciabatta, and WOW. The flavor combo was perfection; savory, creamy, slightly sweet, and so fresh. The peach jam with the brie took it to another level, and the ciabatta was perfectly toasted. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients and presentation. This is the kind of place you go once and immediately start thinking about what you’ll order next time. If you’re anywhere near Camino, this is a must-stop. 🥪✨“

“Max’s is amazing. Very straight forward menu, everything on it is amazing. The atmosphere is laid back and everyone working here rules. Got 2 burgers and 2 tacos and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. Awesome job max.“

“Great ambience and the staff goes above and beyond!“

“Best sandwiches this side of the Mississippi. It’s not really a sandwich, but more like an “experience”, with bread.“

“amazing street tacos and their chorizo burritos are delicious 😋 definitely going back. very kind owner's as well“

“I love the Honey Bear Latte“

“Good authentic Mexican food. The owner quietly comped our whole crew of first responders and never asked for recognition or thanks for it. We were all surprised and grateful. The food was fantastic and we come back regularly. El carnival is a solid part of the local community.“

“Taphouse is one of those super underrated gems of placerville! Although I worked there, the main reason I actually applied for a job was because of the great food, and amazing atmosphere. As a former employee, it’s still one of my absolute favorites to visit.“

“Cheese Blintz with Olliberries.“

“Love, love, love this place! The bagels are always fresh and amazing, and the coffees are just as good. The ladies who work here are the sweetest they’re always kind, welcoming, and ready with great suggestions.

They also offer a bagel bar for events, which is so fun and unique to our area. Overall, just an amazing spot with great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Paco's is fantastic! Absolutely phenomenal food and worth every penny! Much better than any other Mexican restaurant in El Dorado County!“

“We went to Placerville dutch bro. The coffee was great the window person was great the order taker outside was rude and made it so i will go to Folsom it’s only a couple of miles further and they are kind and the drinks are great“

“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with warm personal service. We had a nice view of the Main street in Placerville from our second floor overlook table. Great food, excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the strawberry Panna cotta with chocolate mousse for dessert. Great personal service from the owner!! Very friendly. Will be going back soon.!“

“Starfield Vineyards sits just east of Placerville, in the Apple Hill area. On the 24 acres of Vineyards are a variety of vines, with the focus on Rhône, Italian and Spanish grapes. The wines are fresh, bright and fruit forward. The Sparkling Brut Rose ($42) has a strawberry toned, grenache base wine. Tannat ($50) is a grape in madiran wines. The Vioghier ($36) is called the banana cream pie wine. Enjoy the stunning landscape with a wine pairing and scrumptious nibbles. This is a great date spot, to enjoy the spacious winery. With weather permitting, bring a blanket and head down to the pond. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY“

“Very personable and friendly staff! Definitely make you feel at home - and great food on top of that! Many music venues as well!“

“We always love eating here.“

“We went to this place today for the first around lunch time. Took someone a while to greet us and take our order but that's understandable considering it was about 4-5 orders in front of us.... they seemed short staffed. The burgers were great and the fries were hot. I asked for a ranch and was charged $1 per container. I don't understand if someone spends $40 on 2 burgers, 2 drinks, and 1 French fry.... why would they be charged for 1 condiment? I understand that every dollar counts but that's ridiculous. If you have to charge 1$ for the container, maybe you should do smaller servings and give away a courtesy container per customer before charging. This practice alone will drive a potential, repeated costumer away. Not saying I will not return, but I'll think twice.“

“Watch what you are being charged. One dish is posted as being 17.95 but they charge you over 20.00 if you are not paying attention. Unfortunately I have been ordering this dish often and have been overcharged each time.“

“Great sandwiches good location next to Raleys in Modesto“

“Unbelievable food! I am so excited to have discovered this foothill gem on a whim. The Place is a little out of the way, but WELL worth the trip. It wouldn't be a stretch to say this is the best food in El Dorado County. The cuisine is Italian fusion rather than straight Italian, but it works incredibly well! Make sure you start with the Piemontese Bagna Cauda (AKA "Hot Bath"). It's the best flat bread you'll ever have, without hyperbole: crispy outside, wonderfully doughy inside. For main courses… take your pick. The pizza— traditional Napoli Italian style— is perfect, no matter which one you choose. The other entrees are just as good. Don’t be put off by the use of polenta in place of traditional pasta. I was skeptical at first, but the first bite washed away all misgivings. These people know how to cook! Bene, Cirino’s, Sergio’s, Three Forks… all the best Italian places in the foothills will have to fight for second place.“
